Abstract:

The convergence of Quantum Computing (QC), Quantum Software Engineering (QSE), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents transformative opportunities across various domains. However, existing methodologies inadequately address the ethical, security, and governance challenges arising from this technological shift. This paper highlights the urgent need for interdisciplinary collaboration to embed ethical principles into the development of Quantum AI (QAI) and QSE, ensuring transparency, inclusivity, and equitable global access. Without proactive governance, there is a risk of deepening digital inequalities and consolidating power among a select few. We call on the software engineering community to actively shape a future where responsible QSE and QAI are foundational for ethical, accountable, and socially beneficial technological progress.
